cindyt,

I posted the article because I found it very informative--my intentions wasn't to scare anyone. When I had my treatments I knew the troubles that could follow and almost everyone did and then some. My doctors were very truthful but having said that I had no clue what could happen if things went terribly wrong during treatments. I'm a type of person who would rather know then not know. I thought the worst thing that could happen was that the treatments wouldn't work.

My margins were clean but I was treading on a thin line--sure--radiation txs gave me issues but I am fairly convinced I would not be here today if I opted out of them.

I think if you read through this site you will find a lot of us had txs with great success. Hard--YES. Easy--I'm not sure if anyone can say that...These treatments helped me see my 38th birthday..The side effects remind me that I am alive and may wake up and move forward to another day...another birthday. I experience pain every day but I am alive to feel it.

This site has the best information with the most caring people in the world and nothing here is easy. Very caring informative people helped me every day--almost immediately with every step.
